Up to 22 Swift nests were destroyed during demolition works carried out by Northeast Demolition UK on behalf of Hill Group and Clarion Housing. Conservationists have described this as a significant wildlife crime. Surrey Police had been warned that Swifts were actively nesting.
The Jewish activist Tony Greenstein, whose opposition to the Gaza genocide will see him on trial in August for "supporting terrorism", is now being hounded – like other prominent Palestine solidarity activists – with a freeze on his bank accounts.
This is being directed by the government through the National Crime Agency.
Santander are the latest culprits to engage in what Greenstein calls "financial terrorism", after similar bank freezes from Nationwide, HSBC and First Direct.
One of the accounts frozen by Santander held money raised to help a Palestinian children's centre in Jenin.
As Greenstien notes, Jenin's children "suffer enough at the hands of the terrorist IDF without facing the terrorism of the British state acting via its banking system".

On 12th June -10am–5pm.
After never having been charged with - & never having been found guilty of terrorism - Pro-Palestine activists will be sentenced for terrorism.
A first in UK history.
Please RT this until this travesty of justice is ended.
Thank you.

Israel yesterday kidnapped four women. Two are footballers in the Palestinian National Team.
Their names are: Natali Abu Dia and Rand Halwani.
Is it normal to kidnap footballers, @FIFAcom? Where are sports media organisations? This story should be the headline everywhere.
What @Arsenal did to Mark Bonnick should concern every British citizen.
He worked at the club for 22 years.
They fired him for tweets supporting Palestine and opposing mass murder and supremacy.
Mark is back to labouring at the age of 62 to make a living.
So, I have a friend who works at the BBC.
Yesterday, they told me the Tony Blair Institute basically selected the entire panel for @bbcquestiontime — hence why there was no balance and it was essentially dangerous big tech propaganda. Loads of staff pissed off, but silenced.
Uma das coisas mais perturbadoras sobre os estupros no caso da Flotilha é que os sobreviventes estão tendo que tomar, por 28 dias, medicamentos para prevenir uma possível infecção pelo HIV em razão da violência praticada pelos soldados.
As mulheres, além disso, tiveram que tomar pílulas do dia seguinte e torcer para que fossem efetivas.
Isso mostra que a violência de Israel não termina quando os sequestrados são libertados. Ela continua no corpo, no medo, na espera por exames, nos efeitos colaterais dos medicamentos, na angústia de quem ainda precisa lidar com as consequências de uma agressão cometida sob custódia de um Estado.
A libertação não apaga a tortura. Não apaga a violência sexual. Não apaga o trauma produzido por um sequestro ilegal e por práticas que deveriam ser tratadas como crimes internacionais.
As violências de Israel continuam acontecendo e produzindo efeitos físicos, psicológicos, políticos e humanos muito depois do fim do sequestro.
Comparto este video que lanzaron ayer Silvio Rodríguez y Chico Buarque; los fondos que se recaben serán donados a la Sala de Pediatría del Instituto de Oncología de Cuba, así que si queréis verlo, darle like y compartirlo con otras personas, es un pequeño grano de arena para aliviar la difícil situación en que se encuentran.
El vídeo es precioso y presenta esa Habana tan digna como empobrecida.

“At least 15 cases of sexual assaults, including rape. Shot with rubber bullets at close range. Tens of people’s bones broken,” organizers of the Global SumudFlotilla posted on the Telegram social media app.
“While the world’s eye is trained on the suffering of our participants, we cannot emphasize enough that this is a mere glimpse of the brutality Israel imposes daily on Palestinian hostages.”
How Israel 🇮🇱 treats the kidnapped peace activists:
• 180 on a ‘prison boat’
• 40 with broken ribs
• 12 sexually assaulted
• Tasers in the face
“We were tortured”
A humanitarian mission to break an illegal siege of Gaza 🇵🇸
Israel 🇮🇱 is a pariah
Expel 🇮🇱 from the UN now.
A Global Sumud Flotilla participant just testified from the depths of an Israeli detention center
"I was illegally kidnapped by Israel - like 425 other people."
"Handcuffs on my hands and feet. Dragged me. When I couldn't walk, they dragged me on the ground."
"They hit us. Hurt all of us a lot. Handcuffs so tight my hands lost feeling."
"They laughed all the time. Super sadistic."
"Took off my shirt. Took pictures. Mistreated us all night long."
Then she delivered her message to the world:
"Shame on you. Shame on all of you. Shame on every government that keeps trading with Israel. My government is complicit. Europe is complicit. The whole world is complicit."
🚨Following our campaigning, London Mayor Sadiq Khan has intervened to stop a £50million Met Police contract with Palantir.
Palantir supplies Israel with AI and surveillance technology used in its genocide in Gaza. It should not receive a penny of public money. (1/5)

No government should be able to win a big majority on a minority of the vote. Our voting system is warping our politics beyond recognition.
I have joined 65 other MPs in signing an amendment pushing for a National Commission on Electoral Reform.
This is a necessary first step toward building a more representative system - one where power reflects the people, not the quirks of a failing model.
Este año no estaremos en Eurovisión, pero lo haremos con la convicción de estar en el lado correcto de la historia.
Por coherencia, responsabilidad y humanidad.
US requesting Israel to divert Palestinian tax money into the 'Gaza plan' is triply unlawful:
-withholding is illegal
-the diversion would amount to unlawful appropriation
-the Gaza plan is the burial of Palestinian self-determination.
This must stop
Palestine is not for pillage
